Indonesia is now offering permanent residency (PR) to foreigners, including Indians, for under Rs 59,000. Known as the ITAP or KITAP, this permit allows long-term stay, work, and investment in the country. Unlike short-term visas, PR provides stability and easier access to banking, healthcare, and local systems.

Applicants can qualify through multiple routes: continuous residence on a temporary visa (ITAS) for three years, marriage to an Indonesian citizen for two years, investment, or exceptional talent in arts, sports, or science. The PR is valid for five years and can be renewed indefinitely. Renewal requires passport, residence proof, and a small fee.

Holding PR also allows residents to apply for a driving license, legally work, and integrate fully into the local system. Costs are affordable, with application fees ranging from Rs 58,000 to Rs 65,000 and renewal fees around Rs 27,000 to Rs 33,000.

With Indonesia’s vibrant culture, growing economy, and straightforward immigration rules, this PR program offers Indians a unique opportunity to live, work, and invest in Southeast Asia’s most dynamic nation.
